21 Day Fast

From Jan 1 - 21, 2023, Pastor David has called Real Life to a Church-Wide Fast. Our focus is to draw closer to God and seek direction for the upcoming year by following the guidelines of the Daniel Fast. 


The Daniel Fast is a partial fast derived from the Bible in which meat, dairy, alcohol, and other rich foods are avoided in favor of vegetables and water in order to be more sensitive to God.


That said, intentional prayer and devotional time with the Lord is crucial for this fast.
